Answer 1

Substituting the values of x and y will give;

`(x-3)^2+(1)/(2)y=7`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression;

`(x-3)^2+(1)/(2)y`

for values;

`\begin{gathered} x=5 \\ y=6 \end{gathered}`

substituting the given values;

`(x-3)^2+(1)/(2)y=(5-3)^2+(1)/(2)(6)=2^2+(6)/(2)=4+3=7`

Therefore, substituting the values of x and y will give;

`(x-3)^2+(1)/(2)y=7`
